Impossible to stop moving your arse when it's played though.

Not unhappy with that, although I dislike ELO and also the ABBA song.  Everything is there that I thought should be there.

Can't be too unhappy with that! September is marvellous and should've been in the final but the one I'd have swapped it for is Gerry Rafferty and that wasn't happening. Sugarhill Gang in for ABBA too, but that wasn't happening either.
